3.4.3 Submittals describing material and equipment for any building system (i.e., structural, mechanical, or electrical) shall be submitted at one time, complete. No considerations will be given by the Contracting Officer to partial or incomplete system submittals.

3.4.4 No equipment, materials, etc. will be installed until submittal approval has been obtained.

3.4.5 Submittals shall be made as follows:

3.4.5.1 Procedures: Identify project, contractor, subcontractor, major supplier, pertinent drawing sheet and detail number, as appropriate. Identify any deviations from Contract documents.

3.4.5.2 Deviations: For submittals, which include proposed deviations requested by the contractor, the contractor shall set forth in writing the reason for any deviations and annotate such deviations on the submittal. The Government reserves the right to rescind inadvertent approval of submittals containing unnoted deviations.

3.4.5.3 Substitutions: Submit a request for substitution to the Contracting Officer for any product or manufacturer not named, to be considered as equal. Document each request with complete data substantiating compliance of proposed substitution with contract documents. Substitutions will not be considered when they are indicated or implied on shop drawings or product data submittals, without separate written request or when acceptance will require revision to the contract documents.

A request constitutes a representation that the Contractor:

3.4.5.3.1 Has investigated the proposed product and has determined that it meets or exceeds the quality level of the specified product.

3.4.5.3.2 Will provide the same warranty as the specified product.

3.4.5.3.3 Will coordinate installation and make changes to other work which may be required for the work to be complete with no additional cost to the Government.

3.7 INFORMATION ONLY SUBMITTALS

Normally submittals for information only will not be returned. Approval of the Contracting Officer is not required on information only submittals. The Government reserves the right to require the Contractor to resubmit any item found not to comply with the contract. This does not relieve the Contractor from the obligation to furnish material conforming to the plans and specifications; will not prevent the Contracting Officer from requiring removal and replacement of nonconforming material incorporated in the work; and does not relieve the Contractor of the requirement to furnish samples for testing by the Government laboratory or for check testing by the Government in those instances where the technical specifications so prescribe.
